And on, and on it goes. ANY victim disarmament (gun control) of ANY kind is totally unacceptable. The Gun Grabber in Chief pisses all over us again.
No one could have seen this coming...
Hillary would have been worse...
etc
I bet its red flags or something like that.
? Article title is inaccurate. "Gun control legislation.."
Nothing about any sort of gun control legislation.Quote:
The Trump administration is expected to announce its proposal to curb gun violence as soon as next week.
YET.
I'll wait to see what happens before casting judgement.
It may be bad. It may not be bad. Guess we'll find out.
It is actually pretty funny how you guys are freaking out over a proposal that has yet to be announced.
I remember when Matt Collins posted about the bumpstock ban.
Many saw it coming and rumors were floated.
Trump indicated it was coming too.
And your lot said it was just empty statements to appease gun grabbers.
And some of you said it is a stupid accessory anyways.
And one of you posted link after link to show you could still buy them.
And then you couldn’t.
And now having one (which millions of people do) can get you charged with possession of a machine gun.
Quit being a bootlicker.
As if Trump hasn’t spoken at length about universal background checks and red flag laws.
I would have won my bet with @dannno had I just stretched the timeline out another month.
And I am sure you remember smart ass comment after smart ass comment because they were so in tune with their MAGA leader, or Q told them, or they mainlined DMT and Kermit the Toad showed them the way of 4D chess.
And then silence. Except maybe those completely missing the fucking point and arrogantly saying it was just a stupid accessory anyways.
I wish I could foresee a president O'Rourke...but I can't.
But it would be nice.
We'd finally see where these fans really stand...let's light this candle for fuck's sake.
It may have to do with administrative policies at Stoneman Douglas that are explained in this article.

It is actually not at all funny how you guys are not "freaking out" over it.
(If enough people had started "freaking out" sooner, maybe we wouldn't be in this position ...)
Whatever this upcoming proposal is announced to be, you can bet your ass that it isn't any kind of roll-back or negation of already existing gun-rights restrictions. At best, it will be some wishy-washy wiffle that will please no one and which will only serve to encourage gun-grabbers and increase momentum for yet more gun-rights restrictions. And that's the absolute best we can reasonably hope for - and that's quite bad enough (so there's really no need to even get into how much worse it could turn out to be). So why shouldn't anyone who gives a damn about gun rights be "freaking out" over it (especially given Trump's previous gun-grabby shenanigans)?
But whatever it turns out to be, I won't be the least bit surprised if the Trump apologists try to excuse, downplay and/or dismiss it out of hand, just as you are preemptively doing here. "Pretty funny," my ass ... :rolleyes:
Oh bullshit. The time for "wait and see" is long, LONG past.Trump has already made his intentions quite clear through his previous actions and there's no credible reason to believe anything has changed in that regard.
He's banned an entire class of firearms accessories via executive fiat. This banned not only bump stocks but the HellFire device along with several similar devices. Now, thanks to Trump, a gun owner who bought a HellFire 15 or 20 years ago and tried it temporarily but decided he didn't like it so he took it off his rifle and tossed it in a box to be promptly forgotten about could now be facing TEN YEARS in prison as the owner of an unregistered machine gun. This is no small thing. ATF has a LONG, sordid history or sending innocent people just like that to federal prison on just such charges.
And don't think your rubber band work-around is safe either. "...ATF once issued a letter ruling saying a 14-inch shoestring was a machine gun because it could be used to convert a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic weapon. The letter was later rescinded." https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/wh...a-machine-gun/
Trump has also explicitly expressed his support for red flag laws, universal background checks, raising the age to buy rifles to 21 and other victim disarmament proposals.
No, there's no rational reason to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on Victim disarmament.
Plus, if this shit is to be stopped, the earlier one can marshal one's forces to do so, the better one's chances are. The process should have been started when the bump stock situation was first being talked about if not before, but Trump apologists and ass kissers managed to blunt the edge of the opposition then. And now they're trying to do so again, it seems. Fuck that.
Its almost as if hes is trying to lose his base. The man has been a supporter gun control for decades. Even wrote a book about wanting to ban assault weapons. Nobody should be surprised by this.
MAGA has been losing Right vote also (and not just Far Right), his shifts towards liberal progressive globalist agenda should help win big government/deficit spending supporting Dem/lib vote to compensate for loss of conservative vote. His top donor Sheldon Adelson, a widely respected globalist liberal democrat neocoservative, cared more about use of US guns against Iran/Syria etc to defend our closest ally in mideast; 2nd amendment protection was never on his agenda.
